316 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
semicircular, bounded by a small square on either side, the other area much larger transverse, its 
apex broadly projecting in the middle; base bordered by a row of small arex, longer than 
wide, and of equal width; sides broadly rounded. Abdomen smooth, shining, longer than 
head and thorax combined, gradually narrowing from segment 2 to apex. 
‘< This is not a typieal Chalcis; the apex of scutellum is transverse and the abdomen 
longer and more distinctly narrowed than e.g. in C. euplae. Its precise generic location may 
be left until the male has been discovered. The abdomen shows an approach to Conwra and 
Phasgonophora.’’ (Cameron, 1911.) 
Habitat: Glen Innes, New South Wales. 
18. CHALCIS TEGULARIS Cameron. Female. 
Length, 5 mm. 
Black; hind femora except the teeth black, the four anterior knees, fore tibiz in front 
and at the base and apex behind, testaceous; middle tarsi except the apical joint, which is 
fuscous, a band the length of the black basal part, near the base of the hind tibize and the 
basal four joints of the hind tarsi, white; wings hyaline, venation black; the apical three 
fourths of the tegule grey, base with a semicircular black spot. Hind femora with at least 
ten teeth, the basal small and closely pressed, the apical larger, more clearly separated and 
rounded; the teeth are almost hidden by dense white pubescence. 
Head and thorax densely, umbilicately punctate, metanotum widely reticulated. Pro- 
pleuree coarsely aciculated, the lower part with two or three oblique striaw, bordered below 
by an oblique longitudinal one. Mesopleural furrow striated on the upper three fourths; 
the lower basal part irregularly reticulated. Metapleure closely, regularly reticulated. Abdomen 
with the third and following dorsal segments punctured and densely covered with silvery 
pubescence. Flagellum of antenne opaque, densely covered with a white pile. 
Habitat: Sydney, New South Wales. 
14. CHALCIS HYPOLYCZINZ: new species. 
Female :—Length, 5.50 mm. 
Differing from hercules in being much smaller, in having all of cephalic femur golden 
yellow and somewhat over distal half of middle femora, the plate at apex of scutellum is but 
slightly emarginate, the tegule are all golden yellow, the fore wings hyaline, funicle 1 is a 
little longer than wide and the caudal femur beneath bears 10 teeth of which the first is acute 
and distinctly longer than the others, 2 and 3 flattened, the last three minute, equal. Also the 
cephalic narrow part of mesopleura is not densely punctate, the wider caudal part not densely 
longitudinally striate. Face below antennz with dense silvery pubescence. The upper apex 
of caudal femur is more broadly golden yellow than with hercules.

Habitat: Port Darwin, Northern Territory. 
Type: No. Hy 3371, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen minutien-mounted. 
15. CHALCIS RUBRIVENTRIS new name. Female. 
Tumidicoxa rufiventris (Girault). 
Length, 5 mm. 
Opaque black, the abdomen rufous or orange red as are also the antennal flagellum, 
the posterior cox, tibie (except at tip) and femora (except at apex, laterad), the cephalic 
tibia except at base and all the tarsi (somewhat diluted with yellowish); cephalic or inter- 
mediate cox black or very dark, the proximal two thirds of the cephalic and intermediate 
femora black, their distal third honey yellow. Scape dark fuscous, the pedicel somewhat 
jighter. Tegule, a rounded spot at apex of posterior femur laterad, a distinct long-oval spot 
at tip of posterior tibize (nearly distal third dorsad) and the knees more or less, lemon
